I have been identified as very creative as a child. I was always drawing, painting, coloring, and spent time writing many of my own stories. I still enjoy writing, especially when I'm feeling very intense emotions, or sometimes as an escape or outlet.

I played a couple of instruments, although I'm very rusty now. Also, teachers would always comment that I have a huge imagination and was constantly lost in thought. At times this was a good thing, other times it was a bad thing. I was always trying to figure out things and would jump to frightening conclusions where nobody was able to convince me that there was no reason to be scared of certain things. It was all in my imagination.
